CAPO: 4th FRET
[Intro]
Am C G D
Am C G D
Am C G D
[Verse]
Am C G
Down on Possum Creek the tensions high
D Am
'Cause the chopper's flying fairly low
C G
And underneath the canopy
D Am
Where the whiskey burns and the marijuana grows
C G
I can hear the sounds of the bloodhounds
D Am
Echoing down that slate rock road
C G
But the sheriff won't find no redemption
D Am
Down here in this holy water
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse]
Am C
It was a warm summer night, I left with the whip of wheels
G D
I kissed my woman goodbye then I headed out to the steep
Am C
That Maglite lit the path right through the back of the field
G D
I been there long enough to make enough money for bills
Am C
I cooked a batch, y'all had to sip and sat next to that copper
G D Am
Just breathing in the night air, forgetting all my problems
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G D
It's when I heard the sounds coming down that holler
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Am C
Shots ring out like church bells ringing
G D
Screams let out like the choir singing
Am C G D
Blood runs cold in the land of my father's father
Am C
If you come around here and you're doing wrong
G D Am
You better believe you're as good as gone
C G
So run and tell your sons and daughters
D Am
You'll find hell in this holy water
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse]
Am C
I ran back up the path towards them screams and squeals
G D
I didn't know who they were but they didn't know I was here
Am C
I cut my Maglite off, walked to the porch, pulled my steel
G D
This is my house and I got more than time to kill (that's right)
Am C
I looked through the window, seen Becky tied up with that rope
G D
That's when they heard them sounds and smelled the smoke
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C G D
Yeah, I sank that whiskey barrel and them bones don't float, singing
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
C G D
Yeah, I sank that whiskey whiskey whiskey barrel and them bones don't
[Chorus]
Am C
Shots ring out like church bells ringing
G D
Screams let out like the choir singing
Am C G D
Blood runs cold in the land of my father's father
Am C
If you come around here and you're doing wrong
G D Am
You better believe you're as good as gone
C G
So run and tell your sons and daughters
D Am
You'll find hell in this holy water
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G D Am
You'll find hell in this holy water
Am C G D
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Am C G
Down on Possum Creek the tensions high
D Am
'Cause chopper's flying fairly low
C G
Brother, you won't find redemption
D C Am C G D C Am C G D A
Down here in this holy water
